Do you know the stars of Coolie have already shared an unforgettable romantic past on-screen? Long before the buzz around Rajinikanth’s Coolie, Upendra and Rachita Ram had audiences swooning with their chemistry in the Kannada film I Love You.
Sparks in I Love You
Released on 14 June 2019, I Love You featured Upendra and Rachita Ram in a romance-driven story that struck a chord with fans. The video song Maatanaadi Maayavade quickly became iconic, thanks to its dreamy visuals and the sizzling chemistry between the two stars. Audiences loved the pairing, calling it one of the most glamorous Sandalwood jodis of the time.
A Bold Leap into Coolie
Fast forward to 14 August 2025, and the scene couldn’t be more different. While Upendra continues to shine as a senior Sandalwood superstar, Rachita Ram has taken a daring leap with her Kollywood debut in Coolie. Playing Kalyani, the antagonist opposite Rajinikanth, she has reinvented her image from the charming heroine of I Love You to a fierce, commanding villainess.
Fans Join the Dots
With Coolie creating waves, fans are revisiting Rachita and Upendra’s old romantic clips, sharing edits that contrast her 2019 glam avatar with her bold 2025 reinvention. It’s nostalgia meeting transformation — and audiences are loving both shades of the Dimple Queen.
